Increased safety thanks to LED headlamps

and more comfort.

The world's first integrated LED headlamps in Mercedes-Benz buses and coaches are showcased at IAA for the very first time. Drivers benefit from a beam that is less fatiguing to the eyes: the beam's colour temperature from the LED headlamps almost corresponds to daylight values. An additional safety characteristic is that the light beam of an LED bulb remains at almost identical, high levels across its entire service life, which is multiple times that of halogen or xenon bulbs. Consequently, bulbs must be changed on fewer occasions, thus also benefiting associated costs and downtimes – companies will notice the positive effect of LED headlamps as a result of lower operating costs.

The new bulbs are bi-LED bulbs for low-beam and high beam headlights in a single housing. Five LEDs each generate the low beam and three more LEDs the high beam. The headlamps are available for the Mercedes-Benz Citaro. LED bulbs have been integrated into the model series' available headlamp housings. Consequently, the individual brand and model image fully remains as shapes and functionality form a perfect symbiosis.
